Is there a way to get the scram bracelet off?

Yes, the panel where they put it on sometimes falls off - and it just comes off - although it downloads more than alcohol content (twice a day) - every 30 minutes when it buzzes, it's testing vapor, PH, alcohol and temperature - so if you take it off (unless you put it on someone else - it will be obvious) - then they throw you in jail for "tampering". Note: If it comes off on it's own, it's best not to tell your worker ... they assume you "tampered" which is a violation of terms. Just wear pants ... or have them put it on the inside (instead of outside of your ankle) if it's uncomfortable ... b/c It's a lot more comfortable than being confined in a cell.

The Games Maker was already released in Latin America. Have you received any feedback on the movie or your role?

My friends and I who have the Scram bracelet usually wrap it with saran wrap and then duct tap both ends. It may look funny but it works. They go cliff diving with it wrapped …like this and have had no issues. Mine got loose the first time I tried around the ankle part and my scram got wet, but no more than it does in the shower. So saran wrap and duct tape. It works. Good luck. (MORE)

SCRAM is an acronym for Secure Continuous Remote Alcohol Monitoring. A SCRAM device monitors the alcohol level in a person's body by taking perspiration samples and analyzing …them with an electrochemical fuel cell. The device, which is worn around the ankle, is patented by Alcohol Monitoring Systems, Inc. and came into the spotlight when troubled actress Lindsay Lohan was required to wear one as part of her court-ordered probation.Though its efficacy is not conclusively determined, a SCRAM device is used to enforce sobriety among repeat offenders of alcohol-related crimes. Its most common application is among those with multiple positive tests on a vehicle's ignition interlock device, which prevents a vehicle from starting when the driver is deemed to be legally intoxicated. A SCRAM device is also used by a defendant to ensure abstinence during the term of her probation (as in Lohan's case) or to prove that she has remained sober while a case is pending.A small pump in the device pulls perspiration from the surface of the skin every 30 minutes. A reaction is then catalyzed in an electrochemical fuel cell and an alcohol concentration is calculated. Body products, including lotions and perfume, along with outside environmental contaminants, sometimes taint the sample.While Alcohol Monitoring Systems claims an accuracy rate higher than 99 percent for its product, critics abound. Since transdermal alcohol levels differ among people at different rates of intoxication, the SCRAM device works with averages more than empirical data. Though the device is said to be tamper-proof, users have found ways to circumvent its operation, including placing material between the skin and the device.A SCRAM device, including monitoring, costs around $450 a month, which is a prohibitive cost for many defendants. The device is also cumbersome and obviously comes with a stigma attached. For courts, verification of a drinking event through blood or urine testing is usually impossible. Once the SCRAM device registers and reports an event, up to 24 hours pass before the defendant is notified. As yet, no independent, scientific verification has ever been made for the company's claims of accuracy.The technology behind the SCRAM device is impressive, and it represents a potentially valuable tool for both prosecution and treatment of alcohol-related offenders. However, its full efficacy has yet to be assured.Check with your attorney if you find yourself facing alcohol-related charges. Several states have laws allowing a SCRAM device to be worn to lower bond fees, reduce charges and even shorten prison stays.(MORE)

Arthritis presents an incredible amount of frustration for people who have to deal with it. Painful inflammation of the joints causes people to seek out solutions to help ease… their suffering. Alternative healing methods, such as arthritis bracelets, provide some much-needed relief, but they are not without the potential for negative side effects. Before deciding if an arthritis bracelet is the right approach to treatment for your arthritis, consider both the good and bad of this alternative treatment.Arthritis bracelets do seem to work. Scientific studies have shown that magnetic bracelets have relieved people of arthritis pain. People who wore a magnetic bracelet have reported a much less painful experience than what they normally do.Additionally, these bracelets are often cheap and stylish. Many different styles of bracelets exist, and they are often available for less than $10. These prices enable you to cure your pain on a budget. Not to mention that everybody is sure to think you're just wearing a stylish accessory.While arthritis bracelets may help relieve people of pain, there is the risk of adverse side effects. Wearing these bracelets might lead to skin irritation and discoloration. There is also the unlikely, but possible, chance of an allergic reaction to the copper used in the making of these bracelets.Scientific studies do seem to indicate that these bracelets help relieve people of their arthritis pain, yet that doesn't account for the placebo effect. With no real way to gauge the levels of pain beyond someone's personal perception, people might just think the bracelet is helping them when in reality it's not really changing anything.It's human nature to always want an easy fix for every problem. The concept of an arthritis bracelet sounds too good to be true, but many people testify to it's value. Whether that value is legitimate or solely a matter of their perception is impossible to tell. Truthfully, if it works, it doesn't matter how it works, just that it works. If the amount of pain is truly too much of a burden, you don't break the bank if you try one of these arthritis bracelets for pain relief. Just be cautious, and make yourself aware of the risks that are associated with them.Findings quoted to support the power of copper and magnetic bracelets may reflect a placebo effect. Unless the study includes a control group wearing bracelets that are indistinguishable from the copper and magnetic versions, the results are pretty unscientific. In fact, one study using demagnetized as well as magnetic bracelets showed no difference in symptoms associated with arthritis.(MORE)

Many types of bracelets can be made at home. One of them is elastic bracelets, which are very simple yet can be fancy as well. Also known as stretch bracelets, elastic bracele…ts are easier to construct than regular bracelets. Moreover, you can add beads, gemstones, and charms just like any other type of bracelet.First, you need to get a stretch cord, which will serve as the string that will keep your bracelet together. Of course, you would also need beads, which you can choose by yourself. You can also use some glue to tighten the knot on your bracelet for added strength. Crimps and clasps are optional, depending on your taste. You can also simply knot your bracelet if you don't want to use clasps.For stretch cords, you can buy from reliable brands like Opelin, Stretch Magic, and Powercord. You can easily find these brands in your local craft store since they are pretty well known. As for the beads, there are so many bead types that you can buy from local craft stores. Just make sure that they are at least 4 mm. in size so your cord can easily fit in it. For the glue, you can use Bead Fix as it dries easily.Stretch cords come in different styles, sizes, and colors. Remember that the thinner the cord, the weaker it is. However, thicker cords cost more, and smaller beads might not fit on these cords. A cord of about half or 1 mm thick would be enough since most beads fit on it.In order for your bracelet to last longer, you can use beads with smooth edges so they do not weaken the cord over time. Heavy beads are also not advisable since they are too heavy for the cord. You can try weaving seed beads, although this is a tad more complicated than regular beads.In making an elastic bracelet, first choose your beads and make a pattern. Measure your wrist or the wrist of whoever is going to use the bracelet. Use this measurement to cut the cord and add extra two inches for tying the knots. Place a bead stopper at one end and start stringing your beads according to your pattern. After stringing the beads, test fit your bracelet first to make sure it fits. Bring together the two ends of the bracelet, pull it as tightly as you can, then tie with two knots. Snip the ends and apply some glue to the knot to secure it. Slip the knot in the closest bead hole or simply affix it there. If you want to use clasps, you can insert them on each end before tying the knots.Remember that elastic cords should only be used for bracelets and not other types of homemade jewelry. Although they are sturdy and comfortable to wear, stretch cords are not built for heavy necklaces. Use elastic bracelets if you want to wear something stylish and comfortable. Just make sure that you use a quality brand for the supplies that you use.Create elastic bracelets for your first homemade jewelry project, since these are very easy and fun to do.(MORE)

Bracelets used for the relief of arthritis have been used for centuries, especially the copper variety. Copper is thought to be absorbed through the skin, releasing pain relie…ving agents into the body. The idea of copper bracelets aiding arthritic pain is often considered folklore or alternative medicine, however, many people support the claim that this method works. If you suffer from arthritis and seek pain relief, this review will contain helpful information for you. Arthritis is a degenerative condition that affects the joints. The padding of cartilage between the joints wears down and causes rubbing the bones to rub against each other. This results in pain and swelling. Copper bracelets are worn snugly against the skin so the body can absorb the element. The absorbed copper is believed to hinder inflammation in the joints. Copper is a natural element found in your body, but most people have copper deficiencies. This is one speculated cause for arthritis to begin as you age. The theory surrounding these bracelets is that by wearing a copper bracelet you are replacing some of the missing element into your body. Copper bracelets must be coating free. Any lacquers, glazes, or paints will hinder the element from entering your body. The coatings however, will be absorbed and this poses a health risk. Copper bracelets are wide and cover a thick band of skin on your wrist. This is for maximum exposure and absorption. Sometimes magnets are embedded into the copper bracelets to enhance the absorption of the copper. This is called magnetic therapy. Some believe that the combination of both copper and magnets working together will provide powerful arthritic relief. A magnetic copper bracelet looks the same as a copper one. The magnets are integrated into the copper and are hidden. Although many people praise the benefits of using copper bracelets as a form of arthritis therapy, no scientific studies have been conducted to support these claims. However, it is a known fact that if an arthritis sufferer exposes themselves to an overabundance of copper they can have toxic levels of the element in their blood. This causes serious health effects in some cases.The use of copper for medicinal purposes has been around for centuries dating back to ancient times. The only way to tell if this alternative method of arthritis treatment will work for you is by testing the theory for yourself. Remember to use a non-coated copper bracelet and do not wear it all day to decrease the risk of overexposure. Arthritis bracelets are widely available and can be found in drug stores and from online vendors.Many people believe in the positive effects of copper bracelets for arthritis pain relief. However, others feel this is nothing more than a placebo effect.(MORE)

Beautiful wire bracelets can be made from many different mediums. A wire bracelet can be made totally from wire or can have beads and other items on it. The bracelet can be ma…de from silver, copper, or gold wire. You can also use red, green, yellow, and pink wire to make your bracelets. Bracelets from wire can be woven, crocheted, braided, twisted, or the beads just strung on them.Take a piece of wire about four inches longer than the size you want your bracelet. Put the wire through one of the parts of your clasp. then wrap the shorter end of the wire around the other side of the wire, capturing the clasp inside. Wrap the end around about three times, clip the end close to the other wire, and then crimp the end in close. This makes it so that the person wearing the bracelet does not get scratched. String your beads and spacers in the order you wish them to be. Put the other end of the clasp onto the wire and leave room to wind the wire around three times. Wind the wire, cut it close to the other wire, and then crimp the loose end.To do this bracelet, you will need a crochet hook, about size G. Cut two to three pieces of wire about ten inches longer than you want the bracelet. Take the first piece of wire and wind it around the crochet hook about four inches from the end. Take the wire back to itself and then wind it around about three times. Leave the end for now. Do a chain stitch with the crochet hook and the wire. The chain stitch is just drawing the wire up through the last loop. Then go down and pick up the wire and draw it through again. When you get about four inches from the end, you just draw the wire completely through the end loop. You can add beads as you crochet if you wish. Do the same for the other wires. Once you have all of them crocheted, you take them and put them together. If you have two wires, you just twist them. If you have three you can braid them. Then connect them to the two sides of your clasp.Take three or more strands of wire that are about twice the length you want the bracelet. Twist them together about three inches from one end. Then fasten that end to a board or any anchor that will hold the end tightly for you. If you are going to braid them, just start braiding, taking care to keep your braid smooth if you want it even. However, uneven braiding or weaving can be part of the beauty. Once you get to the length of bracelet you want, then attach the other wire to the other end of the clasp. You can do a lot of the weaving patterns used in macrame books if you want to weave the wire. Just be careful to keep the wire from becoming kinked during the process.Take two to 20 pieces of wire about twice as long as you want the finished bracelet to be. Twist them together about two inches from the end of the wires. Fasten the wire to a board or something to hold it securely. Then, twist the wires. Twist until you have them as tight as you want. Attach both ends of the wire to a part of a clasp. You can also buy a machine that will twist the wires for you. Sometimes the machine does a more even job than doing it manually.Woven bracelets are done with two different gauges of wires. You will need a larger gauge for the two outside wires and a thinner one to go between them. Cut the two larger wires about three inches longer than you wish the finished bracelet to be. Take the smaller wire and wrap it three times around a larger one about an inch from the end. Then take that same smaller wire and wrap it around the other larger wire once. Weave your smaller wire back and forth between the two larger wires, until you have the length you want. Twist all three wires together and attach to a clasp. Twist the two large wires together on the other end and attach to the other piece of the clasp.Wire bracelets are fun to make and wear. You can make them from red, green, copper, gold, or silver wire. You can weave, braid, crochet, twist, or even just string the wire with your favorite beads. You can add beads to the woven, braided, and twisted bracelets too. Wire bracelets are easy to make and look great when you wear them.When working with wire, you can also use crimp beads to fasten the ends. The crimp beads are a little pieces of metal you put over both ends and then squeeze together. This keeps the ends of the wire away from the wearer and keeps them tight.(MORE)
